The SHiP Liquid Scintillator-Based Surrounding Background Tagger — •Annika Hollnagel for the SHiP LScin SBT collaboration — JGU Mainz
The SHiP experiment has been proposed as a general-purpose fixed-target facility at the CERN SPS North Area. Consisting of a two-fold detector, it combines the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP), such as Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNL), with a search for light dark-matter particles and studies of tau neutrino physics.
The impact of the 400 GeV proton beam on the upstream target may create HNL and other weakly interacting particles of masses m ∼ 10 GeV/c2. After a hadron absorber and an active muon shield, these particles are supposed to decay inside a large vacuum vessel which is followed by a magnetic spectrometer and calorimeter. To discriminate against external particle interactions, the decay vessel will be covered by the Surrounding Background Tagger (SBT).
This talk will give an overview of the current design of and ongoing R&D on the segmented liquid scintillator option for the SBT detector.
